View answerPartnerships, community groups, Leader groups and community development projects all operate as companies limited by guarantee. Work is nearing completion in my Department on codes of ethics for these organisations which will have due regard to the duties and obligations of directors and companies under company law. In addition, the codes of ethics will have regard to the specific principles and objectives of the programmes through which these organisations are funded.
